The fist attempt to delimit the Historic Site of Granada: the importance of the Provincial Councilor of Fine Arts Vicente Gonzalez Barberan

Abstract

In the year 1929 Granada was declared as Artistic City, an act that served as an acknowledgement to conserve its architectural heritage, however, the lack of effective cultural management up until the 70s effectively allowed urban regulations to control any attempt to protect the Historic Site. In this sense, it is remarkable the labor of Provincial Councilor of Fine Arts during the 70s, Vicente González Barberán, who expressedan integrating vision of the cities and defended the Historic Site as instrument of protection.
